Expect What????

I love making things... jewelry, bags, crocheting, knitting, painting, drawing, ceramics... anything. You name it, I probably did it at one time or another. Yes, woodworking too. I did that for awhile :) It's all like playing to me. It was fun because I had no expectation of the outcome of my art. Then, a few months after I decided to sell my jewelry this 'expectation' rose. I wanted people to love them and buy them!! The focus became making everybody happy and I stopped creating from joy, the thing that makes creating fun in the first place. Then I went through a phase that I called 'Sucky Phase' and did not make anything because I expected so much out of my art and it scared me. As an artist, I have decided that it was not a way to live or create...and I let the expectation go. Now, I let my art flow and come out as it comes out from my heart. I let it into the world without any expectation...or maybe not as much :)

About Me

An artist all my life, I concentrated my studies in graphic design in college. Photography, however, has always been another artistic way of expressing myself. Here recently, I finally have the courage to admit that it is the larger part of me. These past few years, I have also explored the world of metals and semi-precious gemstones. I think they are just lovely and cannot get enough. So here I am...an artist...evolving, experiencing, trusting my gut. Going where the flow takes me
